The continuation of the successful zombie saga from Image Comics! Rick Grimes is back with his family. But the circumstances are anything but happy. They are living more poorly than well in a trailer and a few tents, and winter is approaching. When Rick suggests moving to other regions, his old partner Shane throws a wrench in the works. Robert Kirkman masterfully conveys the feeling of uncertainty and constant threat that surrounds the small group led by Grimes. He continually places new obstacles in their long journey into the unknown. Nominated in 2005 for two Eisner Comic Industry Awards: Charlie Adlard for "Best Penciller/Inker" and Tony Moore for "Best Cover Artist.".
